WHAT CHAMBERLAIN WANTS.

1t has been no secret in certain quar-
ters FOR some time that Joseph Cham :
berlain has not come to this country
solely for the benefit of his health, nos
yet to straighten out the fishery trouble.
Joseph has q deeper laid scheme On
hand. 1t is nothing less than to alien
ate the friendship OF the American
people for the Irish cause. Congress
man Martin Foran, Of ONO, who is
posted ON everything of a political
character worth knowing, in an inter
view with a Washington Post reporter
Tespe citing Mr.. Chamberlain visit to
Washinston, said:
II believe that the fisheries question
is only one Of the objects of Nj. Cham
berlain's mission to this country. I be-
lieve that one of the principal objects
of his visit here is to get up, If he can.

rule It's not an Irish sympathy in
America that favors IreIand's fight for
freedom; it is the true American senti-
ment that will always be found in SYM
pathy with the spirit Of freedom every

1t was generally supposed that Sails
bury's object in appointing Joseph on
the commission was to get him out OF
the way, 1r to use the somewhat inele-
CANT expression, ''to get a rest" But
it appears otherwise. However, the
Irish people over the sea have nothing
to fear on this account. Americans
have wideawake newspapers that keep
thsir patrons posted on the events Of
the day, and Chamberlain unsayory

CHRISTMAS DAY.

1t is not absolutely certain when CT
where the practice of celebrating the
birthday Of cur Lord Jesus Christ was
introduced into the Church. At the
end Of the second century and the be
ginning of the third century there was
no positive Information as to the day
IN which our Saviour was born, and no
sure way of ascertaining it; for one Of
the mos eminent and learned fathers
of that period tells US that they who en-
daayored to fix the day OF the nativity
had arrived at different conclusions.
That some referred it to the 18th Of
Anril. and others to the Goth Of May.
In Egypt and in the East, the festival
Of the nativity was celebrated very
early. though it is not known how
early: it was, however, on the 9th OF
January and long continued to be SO,
although it is impossible for us to de-
termine OH what grounds. There is no

ENGLAND's HYPOCRISY

There is an old adage which says that
when His Satanic Majesty took sick ne
turned pious all at once, but after here-
covered his health his piety was found
to be Of a spasmodic character. The
adage is equally applicable to Great
Britain. She will tyranniZe over every
nation that is incapable of carrying on
an even warfare against her, but to her
superiors she Graves piteouslY for arbi-
tration. Ever since the War of Inde
pendence she has done her utmost to
harass the Government Of tho United
States, but at length she has discovered
that cur citizens are not composed Of
material that can be moulded into fig
ures pleasing to her eye, and she is now
ready and willin to take back every
thing-take the country back, if she
could manage it. The student OF his
tory cannot for moment believe that
there is any sincerity in England's
great cry for arbitration at the present
tine. If she believed to-day that she
could crush our country under her feet
she would do SO The present genera
tion will remember that many of the
British Statesmen who are now so
anxious to settle all international dis
putes by arbitration did everything in
their power to secuye the overthrow of
the American Republic during the late
civil war, and that, too, in di-
rect contravention of the inter.
national law If Greas Britain has
SO suddenly been converted to the doc
trine of peace, why does she not put it
into practice in Egypt and India2 Dur
ing the past decade she has been en-
gagged in continuous war in both these
countries, while she has orainously
taken good care to leave nations that
could meet her on equal ground quietly
alone. In some matters we doubt not
it would be wise and expedient to set
tie certain matters between the two
countries by arbitration, but not by the
means the peace delegation sent to this
country has been endeavoriug to, es
tablish. 1t will be a long time before
the free and enlightened citizens Of
this country can be persuaded 10 look
upon England as anything else than a
vi.ldic1ive, treacherous nation, which
would wipe the Republic out Of exist
ence if possible.

REV. JAMES MoG0LRIOK's ADDRESS

AAS< ~~~
The discourse delivered by Rev.
James McGolrick before the White
Cross society, at the Church Of the I'm
maculate Conception last Sunday night,
was interesting, and drew forth a large
number of the members OF that 0rganl-
cation. The church was crowded, a
large number Of those present being
Protestants. Father James took for bis
subject 'sImpurity," which was a very
appropriate one. He referred briefly to
the present immoral condition of hea
then lands, and the good results OF
Christianity in Improving the morals of
impure nations. He SAID. in effect, as
follows
s'Look to the holy hone of Nazareth
for remedy for the evils that afiict
society. BY His life and His example
Christ taught purity. Wherever He
went purity was ever nppermost in His
principles. Christ in His own words
bears out the teachings Of the COM
mandment, Thou shalt not commit
adultery and the apostles, too, carried
out Ills teaching against this vice Of i'm
purity. We believe in pure bodies and
pure minds In all cities, and espec-
tally those across the ocean, are men
who spend all their lives in corrupting
manhood. You cannot enter Paris
without having a card Of obscene pic
lures thrust into your hand and inn
moral propositions made to YOU. One
ofthe evils of impurity is that it weak
ems the will. The Christian law is
clear. Every deed done by man will
some day come to light; man shall rem
der an accountof every act. It is the
duty Of every man to speak of women
in the highest respect, Taka the exam
ple of Jesus Christ. How did He treat
the fallen woman who was about to be
stoned to death? He said let him who
is without sin cast the first stone, and
then He spoke co her kindly and bade
her rise. There are among rs those
whose passions are easily set on fire.
"A word, q story, often does great harm
Let us be careful then in what we say.
Let us stand With manly Christian yir-
sture and not only restrain ourselves
from using impure words but also pre-
vent others, so far as is possible from
doing SO in our presence. ImpuritY Is
the greatest of all evils. IT causes the
loss of souls, Of manhood and all that is3
noble, pure and upright. Do what you
can to. prevent the Sc wing Of imp !lp q slre.

eft will be fitting settling" says the
Gazette, in it's usual bravado spirit, 'for
England to act with vigor and prompti-
tude in the suppression of crime in Ire
land, and leave the result to fortune.
IF the Gazette had substituted the word
misfortune" for the word fortune"
in the last sentence, it's remarks would
be received in their true and proper
meaning. The London Daily News,
referring to the overtures made by
Lord Salisbury to Lord Harrington,
says: ttBy this act of miserable weak
ness and miscalled patriotism, Lord
Salisbury acknowledges that the Con-
servatives are absolutely dependent
upon the will and pleasure of Churchill.
1t is not strange that many Conserva-
tives are puzzled over and indignant at
the feebleness Of their leaders, which
must surely damage the reputation of
modern Conservatism"
The Irish standard., 1887-01-01

IT would mean great deal were
Salisbury to fill Lord Randolph Church
ills vacated seat in the Cabinet with
the man who uttered these words:
'sMore Irishmen who are living outside
the borders of Ireland can do their part,
in securing the ful6lment of the ma
tional aspiration, in some ways more ef-
fectually than if they were still dwell
ing upon their beloved land and for
this reason, that they are living in the
midst Of those upon whom must depend
largely the success of their cause"
They are the words of the late lord.
lieutenant Of Ireland, Lord Aberdeen.
The Freeman's Journal, in commenting
on this, said: "Thrown amongst the
people whose voice is the all-powerful
factor in the settlement of the Irish
question. the Irish in Great Britain can
do much to convince the English nation
by act and speech of the fitness of Irish
men to govern themselves. So far as
Lord Aberdeen is concerned, he, at all
events, has no doubt as to their COM
potency. Neither does he contemplate
delay, as even a possible element, in the
contamination of the highest hopes of
the Irish race"
